A coalition of states has filed a lawsuit against a federal rule that restricts green cards for immigrants who use public benefits, arguing the policy undermines state efforts to support vulnerable populations. The legal challenge targets a recent administration decision that broadens the definition of public charge, potentially affecting thousands of lawful permanent residents. Critics say the rule could discourage immigrants from accessing critical services like healthcare and nutrition programs. The case highlights a growing divide over immigration policy and the role of public assistance for non-citizens.
